Ding every 5 min.

[n7okn]

I need to sip a medicated drink every 5 min to keep a certain blood level. I'm busy so I skip lot of sips.

I usually just go ahead and sip (or gulp) my 'medicated' drink fairly often so for me I don't really need a timer. But my 'medicated drink' is something I only drink after work, so it is very much not the same as your situation, LOL.

You want any specific ui stuff or just a ding?

I didn't do as full of testing as I would have liked, this is a rush job. If there are any issues let me know.

Anyone have suggestions for a name? This one is lame and the words are so common that searching for it directly by name doesn't even give good search placement.

Suggestions on changes? The notification drawer controls could probably use some help.

Well, I'll be a tester for you, the OP hasn't logged into the site since July 6

Yeah, I noticed that too. At least it gave me a bite sized weekend project for relaxation, I'm glad I did it even though it will never be used by anybody.

 

[teddyearp]

Hey that's all that counts. I tried it and it works. I'll put it to a real test for a drinking contest someday!

Thanks and thanks for the review. I might rename it, I'm thinking "Metronome for Life" or something and make the notifications bar thing a little better eventually but that's it. Its a shame that every 5 minutes guy disappeared but at least I learned about services and notifications on Android, two things you don't really mess with when making games.
